Photo by irathemacdadI'm telling you folks, you can't let spiders get access to your phones, not unless you have unlimited minutes and some sort of beefy data plan.

With those eight limbs they are avid texters. With their huge broods, they have lots of family to keep in touch with. And really, do you want to go scrolling through your downloads after a he-spider has been on it, only to find risque photos of black widows?

UPDATE: Jaden, our resident tarantula expert, is pretty sure this is an Aphonopelma hentzi, which is Latin for 'he who texts with impunity,' aka Oklahoma brown tarantula.

You flatter me, jenjen. But I'm afraid most spiders wouldn't condescend to read this blog. And the thought of them reading it, it's almost like their hovering over my shoulder. Kinda freaky. I'm gonna go look at puppies and bunnies now.
